Groups for and against Michael Mann rally at Penn State
Almost 100 people rallied on Penn State’s University Park Campus Friday. Groups for an against were there. For complete coverage this go to WJACTV.com, where there is also a video of a TV report WJAC did.
Leading the local Young Americans for Freedom group requesting an external investigation, Samuel Settle told WJAC-TV Friday that he doubts the committee of peers could be unbiased.
“For the sake of the university, for the sake of his reputation, for the sake of our reputations as students and community members, we need to come out and make it clear to the university that this is not what we consider acceptable,” said Settle. “We ask; we demand an external investigation of this.”
Bette Jackson believes that an independent probe into academic misconduct allegations is necessary.
“I know if I were Dr. Mann, I would want impartial people to take a thorough look at my career and make sure that there were no blemishes on it,” said Jackson.
Dozens of others at today’s rally said the outcry from certain groups is nothing more than a distraction, including Peter Buckland.
“This going after Michael Mann is really just kind of this way of manufacturing a controversy which is meant to fuel denial of climate change,” said Buckland. “It is probably the greatest challenge to civilization that human beings have ever faced.”
National Wildlife Federation member Ed Perry told WJAC-TV Friday that the international coverage on the story is damaging Mann’s professional reputation.

Well done to the students for rallying for a more open and transparent inquiry. It is great to see local TV stations covering the story and in turn encouraging debate.
Michael Mann, Michael Moore. They’re both liars.
Every candle lit pushes back the darkness. God has an amazingly ironic sense of humor-Al Gore, Bill Gates, and The Google Boys will be undone by the internet.
